How this area has changed
Typical prices for detached houses, now and in years gone by. The twelve months to August 2026 against the same twelve months back then.
| Area | Now | 5 years ago | 10 years ago | 15 years ago | 20 years ago |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Postcode sector CM23 1 | £625,000 | £599,997 +4% since | Not enough sales | £610,000 +2% since | Not enough sales |
| Uttlesford | £609,500 | £591,750 +3% since | £515,000 +18% since | £406,250 +50% since | £349,000 +75% since |
The typical price is the middle sale of the twelve months, not the average, so one very dear or very cheap sale cannot pull it about. Standard sales only. A figure needs at least 15 sales behind it; with fewer, it says so.
